Qantas conundrums
August 17th, 2008I’m sure everyone you talk to will have a current Qantas tale, but I wasn’t aware of mine until returning to London, where Nikki told me the plane I had been on had made the news.
The whole world at my feet...
This blog is for my family and friends, to let them know my plans and predicaments, my adventures and experiences. To let them know when I'm on the move or staying put, and maybe even when I'm coming home - don't count on it anytime soon though! Enjoy...you are always on my mind, or at least at the back of my mind :-)The Land of Oz: I Still Call Australia Home
August 17th, 2008What can I say? Quick as lightning, first I was there, then I was gone. I’m sorry for those of you who I didn’t get to catch up with, and thank you for those who made time to catch up with me. My whirlwind trip to Melbourne was short-timing but long-lived. Enough with the cliches, my grandma was asking me to blog the whole time I was there, but what can I say – I had better things to do!
The first time spinning is so painful…
July 14th, 2008It burns everywhere. I’m tingling and my head is going in circles. It feels like it’s been going for ever but I just can’t tell. My face must be telling its own story because I’m certainly not in control. I’m really just going with it. I don’t know what else to do. Is it going to be like this every time?
Chasing the sun
July 13th, 2008I almost didn’t get up today because my phone was dead so my alarm didn’t go off. It was a Sunday, but breakfast only goes till 10am, so I was lucky enough to fit some in.
Doing things, going places…
July 12th, 2008I spose I’ve told you about my latest trip but you don’t really know what I’m doing and where I’ve been living.
Partying on P.E.I.
July 4th, 2008There was no heads up for this trip, because it was a little impulsively planned about a month ago, but I just got back (hopped off the plane 5 hours ago) from spending a fantastic week with Doug on Prince Edward Island in Canada – and I even came home with a tan!
Barcelona blues
May 29th, 2008
Lija and I spent the weekend in Barcelona, which had it’s good times, but quite a few shitty things happened too. Well, I’ll start at the beginning shall I?! Hold your breath fellas, cos it’s going to be a bumpy ride! (Did you know that Bette Davis said that in All About Eve?!)
May madness
May 18th, 2008I could actually claim that any month in my life is madness, but that would be too marvellous to think about. A little madness keeps me sane, on my feet, and there’s nothing I enjoy most than to hit the ground running.
Traveling Turkey: Galipoli and Anzac Day
May 16th, 2008Thursday 24th April
An early breakfast followed our wake-up call so we could beat the crazy Istanbul traffic out of the city. It was a peaceful drive out to Gallipoli, albeit five hours long, although we did break it up with several stops along the way. We did a grocery stop because the expensive greasy kebabs at Anzac Cove weren’t appealing to everybody, and Lija and I got some nibbles to get us through the next 24 hours, this included a jar of pickles (which turned out not to be the nice sweet ones – how should we know, the packaging was in Turkish?!) and a pack of sliced salami that got chucked when it was so hot it started sweating. Eww. The litre of water each and fruit and biscuits did just the trick though.
Traveling Turkey: Istanbul
May 12th, 2008
Turkey. One of those far off places that you hear about every now and then on the news, but doesn’t come up as one of the top 5 most wanted places to visit. Istanbul and Anzac Day were two totally different but amazing experiences.
